Musical Parking

So the border was a typical border, with having to leave to make photocopies, even though they had a machine there. We drove a long day and got to Merida, capital of the Yucatan state. We are keeping a tally, so far, 0 cops bribed. After finding a place to stay, the musical chair for our car began. The first parking lot charged a flat $1.20 per hour. We drove around for a while, until we found another that would be more like $0.70 per hour. This is still way out of our price range, as we normally spend around $5 a day. This charade would continue for the next three days, as we would keep coming across cheaper options. We got into town hoping to be in time for the Broncos game. We could only find a place that had another game on. We watched in desperate hopes to see some highlights at least. After the game they showed a whopping three highlights, 3-0 is all I have to say. Merida is a great colonial town, with colorful buildings and the people have been quite friendly. We spent the next day running a few errands, and getting to know the town. The food is unbelievable here. I think I could move here and eat myself to death. We had a relaxed day, and with the Broncos victory, I was on cloud 9. Not much to say about Merida other than we hung out for a few days and ate! Tomorrow off to do something new, again.
